it might not be so much it off limits, but you need permission of some form to be up there. perhaps only above a certain grade level in the school?

or given that this is not nearly a normal school, it is possible that it was designed off of an Asian school layout and no one ever thought about the roof before. one of those, no one ever asked where those stairs go to type things.

come to think of it, we know the library can be entered through other buildings right? maybe this roof top is part of the physical school building, while the interior is multi-dimensional? so they would have had to enter the building, avoid entering the school’s actual interior and climbed up to the roof the real building. or knowing that a spider had to show it to them, they could have flown up to it from the outside. part of the group can fly or poit on their own, and would be capable of carrying the others.

Given that everyone uses a portal to access the school (to the best of my knowledge), there’s no limit to where in the world the school is located. So, maybe it is located in Japan? Or similar Asian country? And/or just uses a Japanese-style school system structure ..? That could be a much superior base administrative & academic system to the American model, which would then be modified for para needs and advanced knowledge.

Nice panel! And I like the way it coincides with discussion of possible non-physical beings. … Though for young Paras, this club might be more based on direct evidence (and interviews?) than it would be at any other school.

Which means it’s basically an excuse to hang out with each other while fulfilling some requirement to participate in a club. “Where can I find some spooky supernatural creatures to observe? Oh yeah, my friends…”
